THE NEW GEORGIA RAILROAD
During 1986, the state of Georgia leased loco number 750, a sparkling, high-wheeled 4-6-0 Pacific type from the Atlanta Chapter of the Railroad Historical Society. This loco was originally built for the Florida East Coast Railroad and eventually sold to the Savannah and Atlanta railroad where it remained in service until retired. The Atlanta chapter of the NRHS obtained it in the 60's and refurbished it for these runs by the state of Georgia.
In addition, we've spiced up a few scenes with a beautifully restored E-8 painted in the colors of the New Georgia Railroad. The 50's train makes its way around an 18 mile loop 4 times a day each day it runs.

CASS & MOWER-LOGGING TRAINS
Carl Franz has been showing off logging trains on the Cass for over 20 years. In cooperation with the Cass Scenic Railroad of West Virginia, he has run logging trains through the woods, up switchbacks, and with double headed trains! The Spectaculars ran in spring, fall and winter. Carl, along with his friend Robert Flack, captured some of the most fantastic material ever shot of logging trains on 16mm film.
There are NO tourist trains in these shots...just logging trains! In addition, this DVD includes more than 15 minutes of film from the predecessor to the Cass, the Mower Lumber Company.

THE GP-9’S-ON THE GEORGIA NORTHEASTERN
On this video you will see and hear four GP-9’s working a private branch line known as the Georgia Northeastern. This line runs north into the Georgia mountains, so very little trackage is straight, the scenery is terrific, with steep grades, some approaching 5%. Sharp, winding curves and lots of trees and cuts.
There are some great shots from the front of the train as the train snakes through the north Georgia foothills.

70’S & 80’S STEAM CELEBRATION
Green Frog follows the first generation steam program under president W. Graham Claytor, when numbers 4501, 610, 2839, and 765 offered a great nostalgic and exciting period for riders and bystanders alike. Then, as the second generation of the steam program dawned under Graham Claytor's brother, Robert Claytor, President of the new Norfolk Southern, we'll follow this exciting period with number 611.
Relive the sights and sounds of that grand era! The original sound-on-film audio adds to the excitement of this spectacular, fast paced program! The Southern did not have the only steam program in the United States, and we bring you a few scenes of Union Pacific 4-8-4 number 844, during the years it was numbered 8444.

SUWANEE STEAM SPECIAL-THE 1218 IN FLORIDA
The most powerful operating steam locomotive in the world travels to Florida. This part of the country never saw an articulated steamer, until the North Florida Chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society (NRHS) brought her to Florida.
Run by the Norfolk Southern, and sponsored by the NRHS, this incredible trip from the cab, trackside, and from the train, delivers all that other video's have missed! The loco underwent a two year overhaul, and in the Spring of 1987, railroad man Robert Claytor was at the throttle as the 1218 began her new life in excursion service for the Steam Division of the Norfolk Southern.
